Granolah is the titular tritagonist of the Granolah the Survivor Saga in Dragon Ball Super.
He is the sole survivor of Planet Cereal, annihilated by the Saiyan Army, and a bounty hunter. He seeks more power to kill Frieza and the Saiyans to avenge his people. However, he later abandons his grudge after finding out that it was Elec who orchestrated the destruction of the Cerealians and caused the death of his mother.
Biography
Decades ago, the Cerealian homeworld was attacked by the Frieza Force and its Saiyan Army. Granolah managed to survive, but the experience haunted him. This instilled Granolah with an obsessive desire for revenge against Frieza and the Saiyans, to such an extent that he deliberately chose a house in the mountains where he could view the remains of his hometown as a reminder of his past. At some point in his life, he met the Namekian Monaito and they began to live together. He also made an acquaintance with an individual named Oatmeel, and started an occupation as a bounty hunter working under the Heeders.
Granolah's most recent job involves the pursuit and capture of Goichi's OG Soldier, OG73i, which he succeeded in accomplishing. Later, Granolah wakes up from a nightmare of his race's destruction. Oatmeel reassures him that the android is in stable condition and that Goichi and his followers couldn't follow them after the destruction he caused on their ship.
Granolah arrives at the Heeter's base and hauls Seven-Three in. Another bounty hunter, Soshiru, recognizes Seven-Three. The greedy bounty hunter suggests they pretend that they captured Seven-Three together and split the prize. Granolah threatens and warns him not to touch Seven-Three. Soshiru backs down and Granolah continues inside.
In Elec's throne room, Granolah offers Seven-Three to the Heeters. Elec congratulates Granolah, but the Cerealian demands his payment. Macki gives Granolah a bag full of their currency. Granolah asks for another assignment, though Elec says they don't have any assignments at the moment, due to Frieza's resurrection.
Shocked, but elated, Granolah believes that this is his chance to avenge his people, Elec tells him not to bother, as Frieza had come back far stronger than before, leading Granolah to march up to his throne before Gas pins him down. Elec tells Granolah to wait until they are ready to help him, as the Frieza Force is their common enemy. Granolah begrudgingly agrees and Elec tells Gas to let him go. While the Cerealian gathers his money, Granolah asks that they contact him if there's another job.
Outside, Granolah angrily curses Frieza and vows to exact his vengeance by personally killing the tyrant. Oatmeel insists that he remain calm and suggests that he treat himself with his earnings.
In their ship, Granolah turns to find Soshiru, who gathered his allies to rob him of his bounty. Granolah lands his ship on a nearby asteroid and incapacitates most of Soshiru's allies. Granolah holsters his gun and threatens to kill Soshiru with a Finger Beam. The bounty hunter surrenders and apologizes, and gives Granolah his pocket change, before leaving. Granolah returns to his ship, with Oatmeel praising his sniping abilities. Granolah downplays this, acknowledging that he missed one of Soshiru's men. Granolah admits that he isn't strong enough to defeat Frieza, and must gain more power than anyone to avenge the Cerealian race.
After arriving on Cereal, the Sugarians welcome Granolah back and the Cerealian asks them to fix his ship, Granolah goes to a nearby store and buys food and water for himself and Monaito.
As Granolah walks home, Oatmeel asks why he doesn't live amongst the Sugarians. Granolah explains that the Heeters built their city for them, so it's not meant for him. Granolah explains that after his world was ravaged by the Frieza Force, the Heeters arrived and started rebuilding the planet. The Sugarians originally came from another destroyed planet and roamed space, before paying the Heeters to settle on Cereal. Granolah says that since the Sugarians arrived and made Cereal their home, he and Monaito decided to live in the mountains.
After arriving home, Granolah greets Monaito and gives him some water. While they eat, Granolah mentions that their friend at shop said hi and gave him an extra bottle of water. The Cerealian explains that Frieza came back to life and he will take down Frieza and his army. Monaito is against this, as he isn't strong enough to fight Frieza. Granolah says he may have to resort to using the Cereal Dragon Balls and looks at the One-Star Ball in their possession. Monaito disagrees and says that the Dragon Balls weren't made to take revenge. Granolah understands and says that he would need both Dragon Balls to make a wish anyway. Monaito tells him to give up the Dragon Balls and enjoy the hand they've been dealt. At night, Granolah heads into the city to steal the Two Star Dragon Ball. Wearing his scarf as a mask to hide his face, Granolah breaks into the institution and takes the ball, before escaping into the mountains as the alarm goes off.
Oatmeel asks Granolah why is he ignoring the elder's warnings, but Granolah says it will be fine and he has a plan. Granolah summons the Eternal Dragon of Cereal, Toronbo. The dragon tells Granolah that he will grant any one wish if it is within his power. Granolah tells Toronbo that he wishes to become the strongest warrior in the universe. The dragon then tells him that if he is willing to agree to a certain condition, he can indeed become the strongest. Granolah agrees, ready to do whatever it takes to gain the power to bring Frieza down. Toronbo explains the condition: he can multiply the Cerealian's current strength by condensing all the power that he could have achieved throughout his lifetime, though this would require a drastic cut in Granolah's lifespan - with only three left. Granolah, however, accepts the condition in full.
Toronbo grants his wish and dissipates, leaving Granolah left with lengthened hair and sparking bio-electricity. In silence, he reaches towards his left, raising a boulder into the air with his newfound power before detonating it with a clench of his hand, shocking Oatmeel. Smirking, he realized the wish worked, before being confronted by Monaito, who was woken up by the shockwave. Granolah claims his strength is unrivalled and he can bring down Frieza with his new power, but Monaito asks if he accepted a condition and warns him that said power will only bring new enemies out of the woodwork. The Cerealian is still confident, though, telling him that as the universe's greatest warrior, he can handle any new threat coming his way. Rising into the air, he attempts to detect Frieza's location, but can't find anything from any nearby planets, so he departs to his ship to pay Elec a visit to find out Frieza's whereabouts, leaving Monaito distraught that he's upended Granolah's life once more.
During the two-day travel, Granolah cuts off the lengthened portions of his hair, unaware that he is being observed by Whis, who presumes that Granolah's predicament could cause some turmoil. Upon reaching the Heeter's base, he demands to know where Frieza is. Elec is unsurprised at what Granolah wants, but reminds him that he is nowhere close to Frieza's level. Irritated, Granolah claims to now be the strongest in the universe, but Elec waves him off and has Oil try to shoo him out, but is surprised when Granolah uses a single tap to send Oil flying into a wall. Having now caught Elec's attention, Granolah is forced to fight Oil, but easily outmaneuvers and pummels the brute, sending him crashing through the base floor and disintegrating said chunk of floor with ease when Oil hurls it at him. He is then engaged by Macki, effortlessly dodging her ki claws before ensnaring her wrists with his scarf and slamming her into the floor before Gas cuts her free. Before Granolah can fight Gas, Elec stops the battle.
Granolah is unwilling to explain his newfound power to Elec, but Elec presses further, withholding the information about Frieza's whereabouts and claiming that if Granolah isn't the real deal and he is beaten by Frieza, the Heeters would have targets on their backs. Granolah then reveals how he used the Cerealian Dragon Balls, as well as his life-reducing condition and that he only has 3 years left on him, leaving the Heeters shocked. Elec, in return tells him that they actually don't exactly know Frieza's location, but that they'll get back to him and he should cool his head while he waits. With nothing else he can currently gain from them, Granolah leaves the Heeters be and takes off in his ship, unaware of the Heeters' new scheme to get rid of Granolah.
After arriving back on Cereal, Granolah stays on his ship and waits for Elec to contact him. Oatmeel asks if Monaito will be alright on his own, but Granolah assures them that he can watch the elder Namekian with his right eye (which became stronger due to his wish).
After several weeks, Macki contacts an impatient Granolah. As part of their plan to eliminate the Cerealian, Macki claims that they found Frieza's location, but their scouting squad informed the tyrant that Granolah is attempting to assassinate him. She deceives him further by claiming two of Frieza's assassins are en route to Cereal to kill him. Granolah says this is perfect, as he can interrogate them for Frieza's location. Macki says that the "assassins" are surviving members of the Saiyan race, much to Granolah's surprise.
Granolah looks over the remains of his hometown and says that after 50 years, revenge will finally be his.
After sensing the Saiyans arrival on Cereal, Granolah snipes at the Saiyans from the forest. Goku and Vegeta dodge (with Ultra Instinct and the Super Saiyan form, respectively) and follow the blasts back to the source. However, Granolah uses his incredible speed to move from different positions and continues blasting at the Saiyan duo, before successfully shooting Goku in the neck, rendering him unconscious. Vegeta quickly goes to Goku's side and revives his comrade with a Senzu Bean. Goku proceeds to turn into a Super Saiyan as well and blasts at Granolah, who swiftly vanishes and reappears behind the duo. Goku comments that his movement technique is even faster than Instant Transmission. Granolah says that it is just one of many nameless techniques he gained as a result of his wish to become Universe 7's strongest warrior.
Granolah introduces himself as the last member of the Cerealian race, however, Goku and Vegeta state they have never heard of his race. Granolah coldly states that he knows all too much about their kind. Vegeta asks if he holds a grudge against the Saiyans, but Granolah refuses to explain and says their race will meet their end here. The Cerealian flies into the air and uses a mysterious technique against them, which devastates the ground. After dodging, Vegeta compares Granolah's technique to Hakai. Vegeta agrees to let Goku fight Granolah first, once more intending to prove his superiority to Goku in battle. Goku faces Granolah on the ground and says that they will fight first, but the Cerealian says that facing him alone was a foolish choice and insults the Saiyans.
Goku further powers up into a Super Saiyan God. Goku also uses Ultra Instinct to keep up with Granolah's assault, however, the Cerealian once again lands a pressure point attack that cripples Goku and drops him out of his God state. He easily deduces the nature of Ultra Instinct and states that, with his evolved right eye having been further enhanced by his wish, he is able to observe blood flow and muscle movements to find all of Goku's weak points. Granolah also senses that Goku is holding back, and says that he will kill Goku first before interrogating Vegeta for Frieza's location. Goku is naturally confused, but the ignorant and rage-filled Granolah believes that the Saiyan is playing dumb and tells him not to waste his time. Goku says that they were told that Granolah was the bad guy, but, stubborn as ever, Granolah refuses to believe this and says the Saiyans will pay for their massacre of the Cerealians. Enraged, the Cerealian powers up greatly. Goku, in response, turns into a Super Saiyan Blue and they clash once more.
Eventually, the battle progressed with Granolah slowly getting an edge over Goku and pressures him enough to activate Autonomous Ultra Instinct in conjunction with Perfected Super Saiyan Blue. Eventually, Goku used his Instant Kamehameha while Granolah struck him at his vital point at the same time, knocking both down. Granolah taunts Goku that whatever transformation he uses, he still has openings his Right Eye will lock on to, to which Goku replied that his training is incomplete. Granolah eventually says he's fed up of Goku using excuses and proclaiming he will kill both Saiyans by his hand, just like what they did to the Cerealians, before summoning an Energy Wave, similar to Moro's technique, from the ground beneath Goku, who escapes using Instant Transmission to Vegeta.
He eventually battles Goku, who uses Perfected Ultra Instinct and overpowers Granolah, (who could not notice his vital points in the form) while trying to convince him to train sometime so he could spar sometime, to which Granolah reveals he split part of his power to save his strength for Frieza, thus revealing he was a copy of Granolah the whole time. Vegeta, who realized this and had located Granolah's real body, informed Goku of this, catching him off-guard. Granolah then takes out Goku with a Vital Point Attack, knocking him unconscious. Granolah tried to finish him off, only for Vegeta to intervene, who had already deduced the former was a Cerealian, and proclaimed Granolah will fight him next. Granolah stated it did not matter who fights him because he would win only to get angry after Vegeta taunts him over the fate of his race.
Before Vegeta and Granolah engage each other, Granolah continues to mistaken Vegeta's involvement with Frieza, prompting Vegeta to explain that he had abandoned the Frieza Force many years ago and has no involvement with the tyrant since. Granolah, adamant as ever, refuses to believe Vegeta, prompting Vegeta to transform into his Super Saiyan Blue Evolved state and engage the Cerealian. He surrounds Granolah in Hakai before destroying the rocks surrounding him. Unfazed, Granolah taunts Vegeta and demonstrates his Hakai-like ability, destroying a giant rock behind Vegeta, sending him flying and towards Granolah, sustaining a heavy blow. The two engage, with Vegeta narrowly avoiding Granolah's energy barrages by hiding in a nearby lake. Unable to track him, Granolah is assisted by Oatmeel and fires a bow and arrow of energy with the help of Oatmeel's aim assist, which Vegeta successfully defends against, but knocking him out of the lake. Granolah approaches the Saiyan, expressing his surprise at how powerful he and Goku are. Vegeta, ignoring the obvious disadvantage he is in, continues to taunt Granolah, confusing the Cerealian and prompting him to attack the Saiyan once more.
The two engage in an aerial fight, causing Granolah to accidently destroy a section of a town. Vegeta taunts him again, enraging the Cerealian. Granolah, still confident that his power is still enough to beat Vegeta, attacks him using sheer power, however Vegeta counters with his more experienced fighting expertise. Continuing to taunt the Cerealian, Vegeta gloats that the battle is only making him stronger and regardless of how strong Granolah is, it doesn't matter and that Vegeta will win due to his lack of training. Tired of the gloating and taunts, Granolah pierces Vegeta's armor and stomach with a Vital Point Attack, causing Vegeta to bleed profusely from his mouth and revert to his base form.
Granolah smiles in confidence, only for Vegeta to chuckle at him, stating he has not felt this way in ages, enjoying every minute of this battle with no consequences at stake. Vegeta begins powering up, knocking Granolah away. From afar, Goku senses Vegeta's ki change to an unusual divine ki. Granolah retaliates by firing blasts at Vegeta, only for them to immediately disintegrate upon hitting the wall of energy coming from Vegeta, shocking Granolah. Vegeta, healed from his injuries, takes on a new form, to much of the shock and horror of Granolah, stating that a God of Destruction taught him that "power derived by instinct is unbounded".
Granolah, unsure and confused by Vegeta's new power, is overwhelmed by the transformed Saiyan whose speed and might are increased exponentially. Vegeta pummels Granolah with the Cerealian landing a massive blow to Vegeta's previously wounded stomach, however Vegeta is completely unfazed. Confused by his drastic change in power, Granolah questions what a God of Destruction is, which Vegeta explains, causing Granolah to wonder if Vegeta was granted this power by this deity. Vegeta explains that although he was taught the technique, the power and transformation Granolah is experiencing is entirely Vegeta's. Vegeta further explains that their ongoing battle awakened the transformation, which Vegeta is grateful for.
Adamant over the possibility of Vegeta surpassing him, Granolah fires an energy wave at Vegeta, only for the wave to disintegrate upon contact with Vegeta. He fires a barrage of blasts at Vegeta, again to no effect. Becoming pressured once again, Granolah forms an energy shield to protect himself. Insulted by Granolah suggesting Vegeta dodge like Goku's Ultra Instinct, Vegeta states his technique is derived by ego, not instinct, dubbing the form as Ultra Ego. Vegeta shatters through Granolah's barrier, kicking him in the face and sending him flying across the ruined city.
Granolah refuses to lose to Vegeta, saying there's no way he's stronger than Frieza. Vegeta explains that the Saiyans were brought to near extinction by Frieza who had destroyed Planet Vegeta and not a meteor like everyone was told. Oatmeel then wonders if he and Granolah were lied to, however Granolah is still determined to get his revenge. After unsuccessfully attacking Vegeta again, Oatmeel pleads with him to stop, as Goku and Vegeta were unaware of his race's extinction. Granolah refuses, stating the Saiyans are responsible, removing his eye piece and abandoning Oatmeel's assistance.
Granolah attacks Vegeta again, claiming he is in fact not used to his new power and abilities and thus he too will learn and evolve in his battle against Vegeta, picking up a castle with telekinesis and hurling it at Vegeta, who tears apart the entire structure. Granolah continues on to hurl even more pieces of the ruined city at Vegeta, then destroying it with his destructive powers, thereby destroying Vegeta's armor. Vegeta and Granolah begin to exchange blows, with Vegeta sustaining damage that causes him to bleed from his chest.
The two continue to exchange attacks, with Vegeta narrowly dodging a sniping attack before sending a powerful energy wave at the Cerealian, knocking him away. Vegeta, realizing he is taking too much damage and becoming weaken, sees Granolah charging another bow and arrow-like energy attack at him. In retaliation, Vegeta forms a giant Sphere of Destruction with the intent to finish off Granolah and destroy the planet and launches at a defiant Granolah who charges his attack with both his hands now. Vegeta realizes his left eye has changed similar to his Cerealian right eye and shoots a precise attack at Vegeta's Destruction Sphere, destroying it and causing an explosion so massive it is felt by Goku and others around the planet. Vegeta, having been too close to the blast, is severely injured by the explosion of his Sphere. Granolah thanks him for drawing out more of his own power.
Personality
Granolah is a stern, serious individual, coming off as uninviting and cold but also withholding a great ambition.
Granolah holds a deep obsession with avenging his fall brethren. This desire for revenge is strong enough to overrule his sense of reason, as he was unwilling to reason with Goku or Vegeta during their battle due to his obsessiveness. Despite Vegeta informing him that neither he or Goku were involved in the destruction of his race, Granolah remained adamant that he will have his revenge against all Saiyans, showing a callous disregard for even innocent Saiyans. Even when Vegeta revealed Frieza’s own destruction of the Saiyans and their planet, while initially shocked, Granolah refused to let go of his grudge. When Oatmeal tries to bring this point up and convince him to stop fighting, Granolah ignores him and cuts off communication with him. His desire for vengeance overcomes him to the point that he becomes willing to destroy the ruins of his people's home in his fight with Vegeta to win against him.
In an ironic twist, Granolah is similar to Frieza in that he underestimates his opponents. He also did not try to master control of his powers, leaving him unprepared for Vegeta's Ultra Ego form. Also similar to Frieza, Granolah has become extremely arrogant in his abilities, to the point that he decides he no longer needs Oatmeal's help now that he became the strongest in the universe.
